LABOR: Coal Strike Consequences

It was July, two years ago, when the unionized employes of the
Pittsburgh Coal Co. went on strike. It was April, this year, when other
miners in western Pennsylvania went on strike. It was bitter November
last week, when some 400 officials of the American Federation of Labor
and subsidiaries met in Pittsburgh to hear of the hardships and
grievances of the Pennsylvania miners and their striking comrades in
West Virginia and Ohio who, with dependents, brought the total number
of sufferers to 750,000.
